In times such as these, a bit of luxury is still something that you deserve! Maybe you want to congratulate yourself on a new project that you have completed or you simply would like to have something nice that makes you feel good. I have always believed that every so often I have to have one luxury that every time I see it, I am reminded of an event or just the need I had to get it. I think that these rings from Tanagro are definitely in that realm. When it comes to luxury and the fact that they make their jewelry with your ultimate comfort and ease in mind, Tanagro Jewelry is the only piece that you would feel confident in wearing. A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure to stop by their showroom. Not only was I dazzled with amazing pieces that were handmade but I loved the pop of colors and how delicate the jewelry was. Not only were these pieces perfect to wear when you're going out for a decadent evening, but they were also perfect to wear when you decide to go around the corner to your favorite brunch spot with friends. Tanagro is extreme quality and a name that you can stand by knowing that it is worth every penny and that you will be able to pass it down to someone who is very special to you. Take some time to check out these rings and then visit the site to see additional items that you will want to add to your list whether it is for the holidays, your bonus check and more!

As you know, Mondays are always dedicated to food and today, I thought we would present food in another way! During my interview with A.W. Gryphon, the novelist of Blood Moon, I found out that she is a screenwriter and while she has this new book release, yesterday, her movie, La Cucina, showed at the LA Femme Film Festival. This festival looks to support women filmmakers and is also a great way to have a Q&A with those in the know in the industry! You can still check out the days events although it has concluded. But I definitely wanted to share some info about the movie as I would love to see this when it comes out on DVD or if it appears in a festival in my area!

La Cucina has an amazing cast including: Christina Hendricks (Mad Men), Joaquim de Almeida (Clear and Present Danger), Leisha Hailey (The L Word), Rachel Hunter (Rodeo Girl), Oz Perkins (Legally Blonde), Clare Carey (Jericho), Kala Savage (That 70's Show) and Michael Cornacchia (The Bernie Mac Show)and is a story about how lives can connect and the complications that exist when there is so much being done, but not said. At the same time, no matter the complications, there are commonalities and there is a central place - the kitchen is such a place. It's a place where people can come together and share in a way that other places may prove difficult. The movie centers around four meals and although there may not be an ending that ties everything together, there is something to be said about having the possibility of a happy conclusion or at least the hope to make things right.
